I refer to the discharge of mental health consumers after an extended stay in a ward, and I ask -
(1) Is it ensured that a patient that is discharged is financially sound upon discharge?
(2) Is it ensured that a patient that is discharged has food and other essential items available upon discharge?
(3) Is it ensured that a patient that is discharged has transportation to home upon discharge?
(4) If no to (1), (2), and (3), why not?
